"The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it."—Chinese Proverb

And something to tell the "it's not possible/we've peaked with our technology!" crowd.

[dallen68]

Pretty much every generation thinks they've peaked the technology. In reality, we may reach certain plateaus, but never truly the peak. Transportation, for example, was essentially unchanged for thousands of years - until it wasn't.

That's a fav quote in and of itself! *high fives and gives you a cluon!* X3

"If you love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms.  Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were ever our countrymen."―Samuel Adams

I will now follow that 10/10 quote up with two that are a lot less serious/more silly (and furry related) to lighten the mood:

(From Red Rusker's Fur Affinity).

And another from his Twitter:

Both for making me laugh.
Looking at his twitter, if you have the tolerance for it, I'd recommend just looking down his timeline for some really funny and witty posts.  Fair warning though:  he does have some NSFW furry art posted there.

Just in case anyone whines about the furry "porn": 
1) The two pictures I shared aren't porn.
2) Not all of our art is pornographic in nature or intent
3) If you get to nerd out and share and post ad naseum about your own interests:  LARPing, Swords, Computers, Video Games, Doctor Who, Super Heroes, Star Wars, Music & Music History, anime, PC Master Race stuff, etc, it's only fair that I get to do the same about my interest of furry art.  I've always been very respectful of your interests, so I don't think I'm being unreasonable to ask the same courtesy of me and mine.
4) And if for any reason #3 is too much to ask, let me know so I can take my company, time and money elsewhere.  As I told Shane today, I'm tired of being talked down to, bullied, browbeaten and manipulated, both in real life AND online from people who at least ought know better.

Posted because of some drama in the co-host chat that was the last straw and got me to leave it.  Specifically flak from one co-host (long blocked everywhere I could be assed to block him, and not named as I don't feel like starting a pointless flame war with him or his friends here) who is in dire need of a psychiatrist.  Anyone who reacts THAT negatively and condescendingly/cunty/antagonistically to completely SFW furry art, calling it "porn," and using it as an excuse to dismiss and hand-wave away the real problems I'm dealing with has some very serious denial and repression going on.  At the very least, someone calling SFW art that would pass as Disney levels of family friendly "porn" is so sexually repressed they give the puritans/SJWs/feminists a run for their money.  Seriously.

If only there were more lyrics we could rewrite into that tune!

[Travis Retriever]

"Anyone who talks about technological development being 'unnatural' deserves to be abandoned in the wilderness wearing nothing but a fig leaf. But even if I weren't biased, if there's a conflict growing between a group of people with ocean liner pistons for forearms and a group of people who insist that everyone should be forced to be as shit as they are, I know which side I'd rather be on. Hey, I've got a better name for the pro-humanity movement: The Sore Losers Club!"―Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation, his Deux Ex: Human Revolution review.

Here's one in the same vein as Travis's recent quotes:

"'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' is the stupidest freaking saying in the world. All of the amazing things that have happened throughout human history is because someone decided to take something that they thought was working fine, break it, and build something better." —Bryan Lunduke

And you just earned your 31st cluon for that one! If only because I'm an engineer. :3

More light hearted furry fun.  This time, a song that I've found very soothing and nice.

Another one that I find very sweet.
